During the 1920's, two elementary school-aged
brothers, out of economic necessity, started collecting scrap metals
and waste paper throughout the city of Marion, Ohio. Using a small
hand-pulled wagon, Carl and Donald Sims sold the materials to a
local scrap processor.

From that humble beginning, the boys graduated to
a dump truck. Eventually, Sims Bros. Inc. grew from a simple scrap
peddling operation into a sophisticated, environmentally aware,
multi-faceted recycling/processing management operation. Hard work,
integrity and dedication to customer service have motivated this
family owned business for over 75 years.

Today we employ over 160 associates at facilities
in three cities and at numerous customer sites. This privately owned
business is now owned and managed by Gary Sims, President.

He’ll be the first to tell you, when you put your
heart into a family business, it’s in the right place.
